'Celeb' Rehabber Mike Starr -- Funeral Plans on Hold

Ex-Alice In Chains bassist Mike Starr
won't be getting a funeral for another few weeks -- we're told, the
medical examiner put the family's burial plans on hold ... in order to
perform more tests on Mike's body.

No word yet on what
tests still need to be done ... but Mike's family ain't waiting around
-- we're told they're holding a memorial without Mike's body this Sunday
in Seattle for friends and family ... to give them a chance to pay
their respects early.

Once Mike's body is back in the family's possession, sources tell us, they
plan to hold TWO funeral services -- one for fans, and one for family.
